Solution : Given: The batting average for 27 innings of a cricket player is 47 runs. The batting average for 25 innings is 42 runs (High and low scores excluded). Also, His highest score (H) in an innings exceeds his lowest score (L) by 157 runs. ⇒ H – L = 157 Now, for total runs in those two innings, (H + L) = (47 × 27) – (42 × 25) ⇒ (H + L) = 219 runs Adding the two equations, we get, So, 2H = 219 + 157 = 376 $\therefore$ H = 188 runs Hence, the correct answer is 188.
